About this ebook
This rich and engrossing survey of the early Church includes those churchmen who immediately succeeded the Apostles, the ?Apostolic Fathers?: Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus of Lyon. Benedict also discusses such great Christian figures as Tertullian, Origen, Cyprian of Carthage, the Cappadocian Fathers, as well as the giants John Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine. This book is a wonderful way to get to know the Church Fathers and the tremendous spiritually rich patrimony they have bequeathed to us.

Reviews for Church Fathers
20 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book for those who would like to be introduced to both the East and West Fathers of the Church. Pope Benedict XVI gives a brief (3 to 4 pages) of salient life points of these Fathers who were closest to the Apostles and therefore, to Christ Himself.He also encourages us to imitate them.They are a great source not only of inspiration but of how and who the Christian is and ought to live. There faith is exemplary as much as challenging.
